Has anyone had to replace their alternator yet. The bearing has gone in mine and I've tried getting a replacement from a motor factors and from Renault. Despite giving them the serial number both have been different to the original 182. The electrical connections are further forward and won't...

Hi guys, cheers for you help with the brake situation... got that one sorted now and they're working fine. Right, onto the new problem... I'll be driving along and the doors usually lock automatically... that I can live with. Now, when I pull away they lock like usual, then unlock, then lock...

i noticed a guy on RS with a 197 posting details of a battery change he had done... hes fitted a "red top" racing battery in his 197 an looks like hes saved a load of weight in doing so... so it got me wondering...i havent heard of this being done before and wondered what if any the negative...

Some little cunt has kindly smashed mine and half the streets wing mirrors over night. The mirror is smashed and also the plastic surround. Have read Quicksilver's post which is almost the exact same situation but had to post to vent my frustration. The plastic surround appears to be molded...

I get a deep creak/groan sort of noise when pulling away. And no it's not the ABS system, it does it whenever pulling away from a standstill. Only started this week really, and i think it's related to my worn wishbone balljoints. Normally i'd think engine mounts but it dunno. Anyone else had...

Bit of a weird one, but thought it might be interesting to find out what everyone on here does for a living! I work for a Pharmaceutical Company....... (No its not another name for a drug dealer :lol: )

I'm having another clear out and will sell this little lot for a sensible offer. Fairly expensive kit new that sounds superb installed. Here's the previous advert... I have this car hi-fi equipment sitting boxed in the garage. It was used for only 6m in a car I took in PX. Since I am old...

Not a lot is the answer!! I've finally removed the valve following the guide posted on this site. I also replaced the hoses with flexible alloy items, 50mm dia. for the lower intake (1st pic) and 60mm dia. for the side intake (2nd pic) using the orignial plastic fittings. Performance...

Has anyone got any info on how the warrenty works with regard to parts? Just want to know what to say if they say, they cant give me a new driveshaft because it has a non standard air freshener or something lol

Hi In the last couple of days when i've been driving hard the traction control and service warning lights flick on. When i press the traction control button it makes no difference - the warning light stays on! When i have had chance to stop i turn the engine off and back on - and both...

Hi There Had my trophy for around a month now and yesterday ive had my first "real" problem As i left my workplace and was driving down the road the radio turned off, all the dials went a bit mad and the trip computer completley reset itself .... As i drove it down the road i was...

I found a laguna wiper stalk on ebay. had a look at the photos and it looks like the clio one with the intermittant function. but do u think that the electronics/connectors would be the same as the clio?

A quick question - a colleague of mine with a 172 exclusive has shown me how to check the oil level by pressing the wiper stalk when first putting on the ignition.This shows a few blocks in the display to indicate the levels. Since I've changed my wiper stalk I cant get the display to show the...

Silly question im having a blonde moment but ive seen a trophy for sale stating heated mirrors? Do trophys hav heated mirrors? If so how do u turn them on? Is it by the heated rear screen button?

I am considering buying a second hand 993 as a weekend car (or perhaps as a daily driver and turning the Trophy into a weekend car). Something with around 30-50k miles on it. Has anyone had any experience owning a 993 (or the previous model) in the past? I'm interested even if you've driven...

I have this 6m old hi-fi sitting boxed in the garage. Since I am old enough to have had plenty of electrical equipment go to the dogs because I decided to keep it for one reason or another I am going to advertise it. Before I get around to putting it on Ebay or somewhere thought I would offer it...

Do the Trophy recaros have any kind of lumbar support? I did the best part of 1000 miles over the weekend and my back is really aching now....

The rectangular electrical plug dangling in the top left of my boot: is that for fitting (optional) rear speakers to, or does it have some sinister purpose I haven't yet detected?

I thought it was time I tried to take the car over to France for a change! Will be heading over to Calais just after Xmas (perhaps 26th) - but just for the day. Do you guys have any suggestions what to do when arriving in Calais? Is it worth driving to Paris or should I explore other...
